Wolves have just officially completed the recruitment of winger Rafiki Said, marking the team's third contract this summer, as they prepare for the Championship season. Previously, Wolves signed two big stars, Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez.
After finishing the Premier League season bottom of the table and with just 20 points, Wolves have had a busy start to the summer transfer window. They replaced coach Rob Edwards with former Porto player Cesar Peixoto and added quality players to improve the squad.
Rafiki Said, a player who scored 8 goals for Standard Liege last season, has officially joined Wolves for a transfer fee of about 9 million Euros (7.7 million pounds). He signed a three-year contract at Molineux, with an option to extend for a further 12 months.
Coach Peixoto shared on Wolves' website: "Said is a player with important characteristics for our team. We have [Mateus] Mane and Rodrigo [Gomes], but we need to find solutions, compete with each other to improve the squad.
"He is a quick player and his ability to run one-on-one is a very important trait for us, but the most important thing for me is the team. He is another player to help us build a big family and strong team to fight together to bring Wolves back to the Premier League."
Wolves will begin their First Division campaign at home to Blackburn Rovers on August 14, followed by games against close rivals Stoke City, Birmingham City and West Brom – along with a trip to West Ham, who are expected to compete for promotion this season.
What happens next
Wolves will start their Championship campaign with a home match, where they expect to get off to a good start. Coach Cesar Peixoto will need to quickly integrate Rafiki Said into the team's style of play, especially as they look to improve on last season. Competition within the squad will be an important factor in achieving the goal of promotion.
